1.Read the following passage and answer the questions given below:

filled from one end to the other with rain. The days were filled with the gust
of water and endless showers. Heavy storms caused tidal waves to come
over the islands. A thousand forests crushed under the rain, had grown up a
thousand times to be crushed again. This was the way of life forever on
planet Venus. Here was located the schoolroom of the children belonging
to men and women who came by rockets from Earth. They set up a
civilization in this raining world.The children in the schoolroom chattered
and pressed to each other like so many roses. They peered out of the
window to look at the hidden sun. ‘It’s stopping, it’s stopping.’ The children
were all nine years old. When the sun came out last time seven years ago
they were too young. They could not recall the sun when it came out for just
an hour and showed its face to the stunned world.
